Go Skateboarding Day/Summer Solstice - Boise, ID 2020

 
This day started out pretty radical from the get to going with it.  Took the dog for a poop, loaded up the KTM, stopped by the building of lies and headed to Rhodes skateboard park in Boise, ID for a much needed cleaning.

Nick Harmon & Josh Davis first on the ground puttin' in work

Josh Davis (JD's Bodega & Boise Skatepark Association) seemed to be the primary bringer of tools, mostly traditional brooms, bags, dust pans, and he also brought a face mask.

Paul Whitworth basically cleaned 3/4 of the park by himself.

Simply sweeping didn't really work, there was a serious build up of grime that needed to be hand dug out.

Greg Goulet not only brought donuts, but when needed called in the coffee troops from Push & Pour to keep the peace.

Paul lays down a front side flowbler between shifts.

This is Scott.  He had the acetone...and all the Dad jokes.

Scott is awesome.  Did I mention he has Dad jokes?

Whitney, Tommy, Armani, Brendan, & Paul decide that this street course is worth cleaning together.

Bob showed up cooler than usual.

Bob's pro-model should be available through Pillowcase Plus.

Richie prepping his beauty on the board to be photographed.

After Rhodes we (Armani, Nick, Richie, Bob, & Arlo) headed out to the old Caldwell park to keep things rolling.  I wasn't planning on riding motorcycles with anyone else, and to my awesome surprise Whitney & Tommy had both choosen to ride their iron horses...and by iron horses I mean a DOHC Chopper and a Cafe' 79 Honda CM400, along with my KTM Duke 390 we made up the second half of the gang for the day :)

We had a great time at Caldwell, I guess something about hanging out with friends and the motorcycle riding along farm lands reminded me of Dinosaur Jr/Alien Workshop, so I made this very unintentional video from the footage.

Unfortunately, Nick did get hurt at the plaza.  He did this super nice back side tailslide on the flat square rail and then slung a b/s lipslide down the 6-six stair, he tried to bail from it but some how his rear foot got back on the board as he was coming down and just rolled it popping style to the outside super hard.  I'm glad he isn't injured worse than he was.  We got him up on the grass and loaded with pills that had no labels, I went to the Flying J and got him a shower time slot.  The End.
